To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Kinrnnn A. Gnonon, a citizen of the United States,residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inCombined Brushes and Holders, of which the following is a specification,reference being had therein to the accompanying draw- $1 inventionrelates to new and improved combined brush and holder having for itsobject, among other things, to provide simple, eEec't-ive and economicalmeans whereby a brush and soap, either in stick or powder form, maybe'carried in a compact device and still be independently usable.

To these and other ends, my invention consists in the device havingcertain details of construction and combination of parts, as will hehereinafter described and more particularly pointed out in the claim.

Referring to the drawings in which like numerals of reference designatelike parts in both figures; V

Figure 1 is. a side elevation of the embodiment of one form of myinvention partly in section, with the members in their relative closedpositions;

- against outer movement by a flange 5 at the open end of said socket.On section 1, adjacent tothe socket, is a stop flange 6 whereby to limitthe movement of the section 2. The section 2 is constructed with areduced end 8, the inside diameter being substantially the same as theoutside diameter of section 1 and the inside diameter of the enlargedportion is substantially the same as the outside diameter of the flange6. A bead 7 and a similar head 9 are formed upon the opposite ends ofthe sections 1 and 2 respectively. While I prefer to form these beads,as shown, this is not essential to the operation of the device.

By the construction shown and described slide freely over the section 1,the movement in one direction being limited by the head 7 and in theopposite direction by the flange 6. hen the section 2 is drawn backwardover sect-ion 1 the brush at is exposed and in position for use and whenmoved to the opposite limit of its movement the brush is covered andprotected.

The numeral 14: designates a hollow boii or case upon the open end ofwhich is threaded the cap 10. and said box has a sliding fit within thesection- 1. When closed the knurled head 11 on the cap 10 projects overthe end of the section 1 so as to present a neat and pleasingappearance.

This box is provided with a perforated bottom 12 and has a perforatedclosure cap 13, of the usual structure thereon which perforationsregister with those in the box bottom for the purpose of permitting theescape of the powder therein for distribution upon the end of the brushwhen the box is removed from the section 1. instead of a box or case 14a stick of soap may be substituted, the same being held by threading thecap 10 upon one end thereof.

. Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is:

In a device of the character described, the combination with a section,closed at one end by an inwardly projecting integral socket, and havingan exterior flange adjacent thereto, with an exterior bead adjacent tothe opposite end; of a brush held within said socket; a second sectiontelescopically inclosing the aforesaid section,

open at both ends, one of which is reduced in diameter so that theinterior thereof is substantially the same diameter as the exterior ofthat portion of the aforesaid section between the flange and headthereon; a cap closing the open end of the first of said sections; and acontainer mounted in said cap.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto affixed my signature.
